Conversation(s) on the Israel-Gaza War
While this is a rapidly developing situation, the Israeli-Gaza was, which has fairly been called a genocide-in-progress in the Gaza Strip, is the most significant Jewish story of the year (maybe the decade). The shifting understanding of facts, the emerging details and body count, and its affects on both Jewish and Palestinian diasporic communities, have left many people in a state of shock.
Throughout this, I have joined a number of radio shows and podcasts to discuss this, each with their own primary topic: the case for ceasefire, how the far-right is manipulating the crisis, and how to understand the violence in context. Here is a collection of a few podcast and radio episodes including my discussion of what is happening and what might be coming next.
